The more things change, the more Woody Allen stays the same.He brings us a romantic comedy about an Englishman brought in to help unmask a possible swindle; personal and professional complications ensue.

Based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges, the film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the British cryptanalyst Alan Turing, who helped solve the Enigma code during the Second World War and was later prosecuted for his homosexuality.

Since the deadline for The Filmmaking Competition is less than a week away, we thought we would do a fun little Q&A in this email

The Filmmaking Competition - What are We?

This is a CINSSU-RoC initiative to showcase U of T filmmaking. We are accepting any original short films under 10 minutes (not including credits). They can be made from any time for any reason: you can submit anything you’ve made through RoC/UTTV/CINSSU or independently on your own. As long as one U of T student was part of the production, you can enter.

The best part: you can submit AS MANY FILMS AS YOU WANT! Hey, entry is free, so why not?

Why Should I Enter?

Other than because your films are awesome? Three reasons:

-Your film will be critiqued by a panel of Cinema Studies Faculty and students. It will be a great way to get feedback on your films.

-We will be holding a SCREENING at the end of February. In short, your entry could be put on a big screen for random people to watch in awe!

-Prizes for the Top 4: $250 split between the Top 3 entries and the winner of the Audience Choice Award. Also, free passes to Raindance Canada’s Saturday Film School, Sunday Script School, and Producers Foundation Certificate Courses in May!

This Sounds Awesome - How do I Enter?

“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.” - Woody Allen
